Top Thai executives air views on future business challenges

[snoop1130]

 

Two leading business executives have shared their views about the challenges and the unpredictability of doing business in the future, ranging from depleting natural resources and digital disruption to emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, climate change, geopolitics and human rights awareness.

 

Pichai Chunhavajira, an advisor to the prime minister and CEO of Bangchak Corporation, said that, in chaotic and complex global situations, the one thing which is certain is the depletion of natural resources as the world’s population increases.

 

He said that a father could comfortably raise eight children in the past, but parents today can hardly afford one child, as he predicted that our grandchildren and great grandchildren will find it extremely hard to make a decent living and competition for natural resources will become increasingly fierce.

Forget the poor it is worse now across the board.  In every country.  The cascade started with the boomers and what our parents gave as a false motto.

 

Go to school geta a good education get a good job with a company with a good retirement plan and you are set for life.

Many of us bought that and because we have no retirement we have to keep working.  This means fewer jobs for young people.
